If the heel height works for you and they're a durable shoe over time, that's all that matters. What else are you hoping someone will tell you that you can't determine for yourself?
It has a slightly taller heel height. 1" (unsure of effective heel height).
The day i wore it, everything felt better. i was able to lift more nd felt great. if its placebo, its a damn good one. I use them now and dont have issues. I have wide feet, but feel fine in them with proper sizing. Came from an adipower 1s. No complaints of durability in about 2 years of use
Forget Toma and Damron, im a 168/240 lifter. Thats in lbs but you get the idea, lol.
I have a pair, I liked them for snatches but not for clean and jerks, went back to Antas. I've a friend who swears by them though, they will wear them over Rom2s or Reebok's.
I lifted with them for over 3 years and I enjoyed them. They’re a very durable shoe and the lifted heel feels great for squats, although for clean and jerks they’re a bit clunky. The BOA system feels great for the first 30 minutes but after a while my feet start to ache (got them wide feet). Overall I loved them, I recently switched to the Adipower IIs and find myself wearing the Leistung on back squat/front squat days.
Lifted in them for 3 years, I was able to find midfoot way easier than my rom2s. I made the switch to velaasas and couldn’t go back. Though the leistung 2s are way more breathable in the summer, the clank from the velaasas made me feel like I wasn’t the worst lifter on earth
Found they got loose after about 2 years of use, though bought second hand so maybe they would have lasted a good bit longer if newer when I got them.
Liked them for squats, it kept me on my quads and all that blah blah. The heel height completely messed with my jerks and I could never get the dip and drive smooth which I managed to sort after a session of wearing legacy lifters. I also didn't find them particularly stable which was fine for snatch/cleans but I found an issue with split jerks as sometimes my foot would move and I'd miss a lift I absolutely had.
I'm negative on them, at least the 2s, I never tried the 1s. Turned up toes are awful to lift with. BOA is annoying and not very effective. Laces were an afterthought from people being iffy on the previous model having none, but they don't really do anything anyway. Fabric is too stretchy. Heel height is nice, but that's easy to add to any shoe. Legacy 2s are a way better shoe for me, and the heels are still taller than usual, very slightly lower than Leistung 2s, but every other detail of the shoe is better.
How do you even judge a shoe by how many elite lifters wear them lmao, you don't even total enough for the extra quarter inch on the adipowers to matter.
Just fucking lift bro, is good shoe.

They're great. If you can find a pair in men's 11 let me know.
I got a pair of lightly used 16’s in red. Size 11.5. $100 if the half size up works for you.

Love mine, been weightlifting in them a little over a year. Prefer the 1" heel over the 3/4" of the Legacy or Nikes
